SuccessFinder goes much deeper than typical assessments, offering each individual a tremendous amount of insight into their unique strengths and blindspots. The assessment is highly reliable and valid from a statistical standpoint, and actively mitigates bias. As such, it's a powerful tool that enables targeted development for each individual, while also supporting DE&I efforts.
Our executive team was initially skeptical about the efficacy of Psychometric Tests.
We have used other vendors in the past and the traditional tests usually put people in defined boxes (or colors like personality tests).
While some of the characteristics and traits of those defined box did fit with the profiles of our employees, most of our teammates felt the results were too black and white to be accurate. In consequence, they would not believe that the results truly reflected their whole personality and they would immediately distrust the usefulness of the results.
Successfinder's analysis proved to be much different.
By focusing on preferences of behaviors and regrouping these into a broad array of competencies, it was much easier to appreciate the nuances of each individual in their reports. The broader view allowed for teammates to concede that the Successfinder tests were significantly more accurate than previous tests we ran. In return, they became more open to coaching based on the predictive insights brought up by the data.
We initially opened to test to all our job candidates and the management team, but the reports were so insightful that we decided to open testing across the board a few weeks ago. And results are already starting to be noticed : some employees are considering moving into new roles and we are thinking about shifting the composition of certain teams.
I could not have hoped for a faster contribution to our internal decision-making process.
